Monogram 1/48 F-86 Sabre Capt. Joseph McConnell First Triple Jet Ace…
Ever since I saw the movie "The McConnell Story" with Alan Ladd I wanted to do his aircraft. This is the old monogram kit. Very nice kit but not as good as the newer ones out now. but back in the day when i did this one it was [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-5 “Minsi III”
This is the Hasegawa 1/48 F5F-5 with the Cutting Edge cowling, True Details canopy, and Aerostar Decals to do "Minsi III," flown by CDR Dave McCampbell, the Navy Ace of Aces and the #3 American Ace of the war. His record of 34 [...]
Gotta keep up with the Seitz’s…1/48 P-40’s I got….
start with this'un, a 57th FG "Scorpion", a Hasegawa "K". I believe the pilot's name was Overcash, a successful Ace. Turns out this decal sheet I used was not entirely accurate, but the skull is still cool. This Sand [...]
1/72 Hasegawa SP-5B Marlin
This model is special to me, because I actually flew in the real one several times "back in the day." "Seashell-5" (her call sign) was with VP-40 for most of her career. I most particularly remember the most [...]
1:32 scale, Hasegawa P-47M-1-Re, "Thunderbolt"
This is another one of my "Jugs" that currently reside at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY. I think between Koppos and myself, we have a few there... ;).
It's a big model, so before you get into building her, make [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-4C and Hasegawa ground equipment
I guess this is the only thing I have that may remotely count as a diorama. I built this for my dad about 20 years ago and gave it to him for Christmas. It actually has a glass cover. I used Monogram's F-4C Phantom II kit straight from [...]
Hasegawa 1:32 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden “Jack”
This is my Raiden which I 've build in the summer of last year.
Although it was a easy kit to build, I had some issues with the kit. Some internal parts in the fuselage and the wing spar made the join of fuse and wings very difficult.
I [...]
My version of a big Japanese girl....
J2M3 Raiden, Hasegawa's new 1/32 effort, done last year. A marvelous kit, a real box-shaker. Built OOB, spent more time on the cockpit "good luck doll' than the paint job. Looking forward muchly to Hasegawa's upcoming NIK2 Shiden [...]
Hasegawa 1:32 Scale, Curtiss P-40N “Warhawk”
I can't speak for all of us on here, but there is just something about the Curtiss P-40 that just make it one of my favorite aircraft. Does not matter which type, or which scheme, it just is what it is, a tough, hard nosed fighter [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Bf-109F-4B
Howdy,
I built this almost out of the box a few years ago. I added etched seatbelts, decals from MSAP for a Me-109F4-B of Frank Liesendahl of JG 2. The ETC 500 bomb rack and bomb are from a Hobbycraft Me-109E kit. Weathering was kept to a [...]
